I would like to thank One Direction for getting my child to brush her teeth properly. (Want to win One Direction tickets?)

So my 7 year old is just.like.me. For good and for bad, we’re very alike.  So to say we butt heads on things at times is well, a slight understatement.  Mostly it’s just both of us having a strong personality and a desire to do what we want when we want to.  And for the Continue Reading …

Both my girls have their own very clear sense of what they want to wear and what goes together.  I can buy them outfits and matchy stuff, but unless I specify, they take what I buy and make it something totally their own.  I don’t mind- actually, I enjoy it. I never had a fashion Continue Reading …
